(Cinema) Joker: Folie à Deux

I absolutely loved it. Joaquin is incredible once again. Felt like the perfect continuation of part one and the look (cinematography) and world once again totally stunning. Perfect, no - but really damn good. Kinda amazed that this was even made but I’m glad it was.

 

Why VHS why not Beta? Better quality.

 

What, you think I’m rich or something?

 

You beta b****.

 

Spoiler

so is that the real joker that stabs him in the end?

 

Should be queued up.

 

Meh..whatever

 

Basically.

They made a lot of money on the first one and they figured it would be hard to screw up another one- fans would watch it anyways.

Phoenix and Phillips don’t live in the real world- so they made a musical. They knew it wouldn’t make a lot of money but they wanted to make art and felt they could do it…

It overall is being portrayed as a massive POS. Really it was just “meh” - the fat Mountain Dew neck beard incels that loved the first were never going to see a musical - So we got this movie without an audience and I am sure at some point we will hear it’s some inside joke between Hairlip and Phillips.

 

I cannot deal with people.

I hope yall are great.

 

What are we talking about?

 

The last blockbuster musical cost $150 million and was a Spielberg movie which did not turn a profit. Are WB even trying not to lose money?

 

La La Land cost $30M and made almost $500

 

low budget sleeper hits are like winning the lottery

 

Except it was not a good musical. The songs made no sense. Even the critics didn't like it. It wasn't good art. I don't know what it was. I also don't know how they spent 200 million on it.

There was no big action scenes. No cgi. There were like maybe 3 sets.

 

I'm not saying it's high are or well done - I'm saying that they THOUGHT it was high art.

 

movie bombed like a MFer at the box office

I really liked the 1st one, but I have no desire to watch this film…maybe I’ll check it out when it gets on Netflix

32% audience score on RT

I wonder who’s getting fired for this failure?

 

I tried watching the first one and I was so bored watching a sad sack movie that I turned it off after 10 minutes. Went ahead and read the plot in Wiki and it seems this one is another failure.

The penguin in the other hand is a brilliant TV show. Surpassed my expectations so far.

 

I didnt even like the first one.

 

No sequel was ever needed, but especially not a sequel where they just make the first movie completely unnecessary. First movie was really good with a couple top-notch, A+ scenes. This sequel sounds like it just ***** all over everything that mattered in the first movie. I think it was just hubris that led to this disaster. Haven't seen it and I never will. I'll just lie to myself and say the sequel never happened.
